When resistant bacteria multiply, what do they pass on to the next generation?

Biology
1 answer:
andrew11 [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Antibiotic use promotes development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Every time a person takes antibiotics, sensitive bacteria are killed, but resistant germs may be left to grow and multiply. Repeated and improper uses of antibiotics are primary causes of the increase in drug-resistant bacteria.

The resistant bacteria can reproduce rapidly because their competition (the non-resistant bacteria) has been destroyed by the antibiotic. When the resistant bacteria reproduce, they produce genetically-identical copies. These copies will all be resistant to the antibiotics.

Hope this helps :)

Describe the chemical make up and type of bonding found in water molecules?
andre [41]
Water molecules consist of 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen atom. They are bonded by a polar covalent bond, meaning the electrons shared by the covalanet bonds are not evenly distributed. Oxygen is more electronegative than Hydrogen and will pull the electrons from its bonds with Hydrogen closer to itself. Thus results in a partial positive dipole on the Hydrogen of the water molecule and a partial negative dipole on the Oxygen of the water molecule. These partial charges allow water to hydrogen bond with one another through a process called cohesion.

Can genetic mutations benefit an organism? Explain your answer.
pochemuha

There are several mutations that benefit the organism.A well known example is the antibiotic resistance developed by bacteria, which aid in their survival even when they are exposed to a given antibiotic. A single gene mutation in wild almond trees resulted in a variety that no longer synthesizes amygdalin.

Why will the loss of photosynthetic organisms eventually cause a problem for animals ?
Sav [38]
The loss of photosynthetic organisms will eventually cause a problem for animals because photosynthetic organisms are autotrophs, the foundation of any energy pyramid and/or food chain, and when this foundation is gone there is a major loss of energy for all organisms that are consumers since 100% of the energy comes from producers.

Where are our traits located?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Chromosomes contain the recipe for making a living thing. They are found in almost every cell's nucleus and are made from strands of DNA (oligonucleotide acid). Segments of DNA called "genes" are the ingredients. Each gene adds a specific protein to the recipe.
